My Project

This school year I have been lucky enough to have some eager readers sitting in my classroom. I have enabled an incentives system coined "Reading Bingo" where my students compete with their class to read the most books. The class with the most completed Bingos at the end of the nine weeks, gets to spin the wheel for a prize! I have seen success like never before with students reading all different types of genres. Although I am so overjoyed that my students are enjoying the competition, I am in dire need of a few books to complete my students' goals. One of my squares on my Bingo sheet is to "Complete a Series" and a few of my students are unable to do that with some missing titles.

This project would enable my students to complete their goal of finishing a whole series!

I can't believe I now have students who want to read THAT much! Thank you for any amount given and know that you are helping students fulfill their goals!
